Hepatitis C Virus Vaccine Research: Time to Put Up or Shut Up [PDF]
Unless urgently needed to prevent a pandemic, the development of a viral vaccine should follow a rigorous scientific approach. Each vaccine candidate should be designed considering the in-depth knowledge of protective immunity, followed by preclinical studies to assess immunogenicity and safety, and lastly, the evaluation of selected vaccines in human ...

The tobacco industry in the time of COVID-19: time to shut it down? [PDF]
The COVID-19 pandemic which originated in China in late 2019 has spread rapidly and taken much of the world by surprise, creating a health and economic emergency likely to have significant impacts for many years. The magnitude of the threat has forced both governments and businesses to urgently elevate public health above economic principles, adapt and

Simulation of reasonable shut-in time for shale oil after volume fracturing [PDF]
To address issues such as the significant variance in shut-in effects between wells and the unclear effectiveness and timeliness of shut-ins during fracturing in shale formations, a numerical model integrating fracturing, shut-in, and production ...

The effect of the displacement pressure on migration of fluid during the imbibition for tight oil reservoir [PDF]
In recent years, tight oil has emerged as a significant and complex topic in the fields of oil exploration and development. Following hydraulic fracturing, wells are typically shut-in for a designated period to facilitate water uptake into shale ...

Effect of shut-in time on gas flow rate in hydraulic fractured shale reservoirs [PDF]
Abstract Some shale gas and oil wells undergo month-long shut-in times after multi-stage hydraulic fracturing well stimulation. Field data indicate that in some wells, such shut-in episodes surprisingly increase the gas and oil flow rate. In this paper, we report a numerical simulation study that supports such observations and provides a potentially ...

Reusable potential-prediction of long-term shut-in oil wells
Comprehensive reusable potential prediction models and relevant principles are established in order to reuse the potential of long time shut-in oil wells, which have been shut-in during the high water-cut stage of an oil field, considering economic ...

Slowness and Time Expansion in Long Takes: 2001: A Spacey Odyssey, Barry Lyndon, and Eyes Wide Shut
Pramaggiore claimed that Barry Lyndon is slow, similarly Ciment suggested that 2001: A Space Odyssey and Eyes Wide Shut are slow films, too. Moving from the debate on slowness, especially from Jaffe’s discussion, from the data collected in Cinemetrics ...
